Less is More Weeks 286 & 287

Hi there

It's new challenge time over at Less is More. Due to a few of the Design Team being away at the Happy Little Stampers craft retreat next weekend, this challenge will run for two weeks, so plenty of time for you lovely LIMettes to get your entries in!

So, what do we have for you this time? Well, we're back with a Recipe challenge and we would like to see you use something...

Tactile

I have two samples for you, here's the first...

I took a panel of white cardstock and used an embossing folder to create the wavy background. For more texture I used white embossing paste blended with some green and blue Distress Ink which is spread through a daisy stencil. I then dotted on some Liquid Pearls on the flower centres and stamped the sentiment in black. The panel was then popped up onto the card base using 3D foam.

My next card is fairly simple but has tactile interest from the score lines, embossing and glossy enamel dots...

I started by stamping the flower in VersaMark before heat embossing with a lilac powder. I then created some interest from the corner by adding some score lines. The sentiment was heat embossed in silver, the panel popped up on 3D foam and a couple of enamel dots were added to finish.

You have really captured the tactile theme and kept your cards so elegant, classy and sophisticated too! How do you do it every week Anita? These beauties have real style. Those enamel dots make me want to reach out and touch them - bet they are so smooth. Stunning. Hope you have a great week and have fun at the craft retreat.Sharon xx

You always make such incredibly stylish cards, and these are no exception! I love the embossed background on the first card, and adding score lines for texture to the second was a great idea and looks fab. Awesome cards!

Both of these cards are simply beautiful! Adore how you used the embossing paste in the first, and the use of score lines in the second is inspired! Lovely to have you join us at CASology this week, Anita!

Hi, I'm Anita, welcome to my blog.
I love being creative and have been making cards since about 2005. I have created this blog as a place to share my creations with you and I hope you will find some inspiration.
